Tracy Chapman Sues <br />Nicki Minaj for 'Sorry' Sample According to court documents obtained <br />by The Blast, Chapman declined signing off <br />on Minaj sampling "Baby Can I Hold You" <br />for a song titled "Sorry." On Aug. 11, Chapman claims <br />"Sorry," which included the <br />unapproved sample, was leaked to Funkmaster Flex <br />who teased the song on Instagram <br />and then played it on HOT 97. The song was allegedly played <br />on an additional radio show <br />before circulating on the internet. Chapman is suing Minaj for copyright infringement and is seeking to barr the "Barbie Dreams" rapper from using the <br />song again, as well as unspecified damages. Aside from a since-deleted tweet that <br />she was unaware "Sorry" contained <br />the sampled Chapman song, <br />Minaj has yet to comment on the suit.
